Cub Scout Tiger Cub Electives

These are the requirements as they appear
in the 2001 edition of the Cub Scout Tiger Cub Handbook,and became effective on June 1, 2001.

After completing the fifteen Achievements required for the Tiger Cub Rank
Badge, the Tiger Cub can be awarded Tiger Track Beads, which are
YELLOW disks attached to the Totem. One bead is awarded for each group
of TEN Electives the Tiger Cub completes. A boy can work on both Achievements
and electives concurrently, but he can't receive Tiger Track beads until he
has earned the Tiger Cub Badge.

Remember, there are NO performance requirements for
a boy. Simply participating and doing one's best in an activity constitutes
completion.
